Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

No one else started it so here it is!

**From the 2013 Thread**

If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs

If you have questions about the SS programs, look here:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.

Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:

http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point.

I am thinking about starting an exercise regimen. How do you guys feel about steady state cardio? Would an hour a day be good?

In the thread starter I would suggest the Texas Method over Madcow for the early intermediate. Madcow ramps up to a top set while the TM is sets across and will produce better results for someone who can make weekly process.

I would suggest two hours per day. Also a high carb diet, low in fat and moderate in protein.

Add in some light weight lifting and you will be golden.

When I make it back to the gym on Monday it will have been three weeks since my last workout. Going to be a painful week!

**penguinz** · 06-12-2014, 12:08 AM

This is an interesting read.

Check out the FIFA requirements for fitness.

I don't have to do quite as much for the level I ref at but I am still averaging 4-7 miles each game and from 4-15 games per week all while adding strength.

No wonder my food bill is so damn high.

Aspengc8 · 06-12-2014, 05:37 AM

I was not warned at how good mint oreos were. Finished an entire row last night as my sort of last supper before starting this CKD/low carb frenzy. Going to start out with keto macro's and slowly remove the fats so it ends up more like a PSMF, then possibly add a carb day on weekend depending on energy levels and how flat I get. I dont really want to rip out carbs and fats together and leave myself with absolutely nothing to use for energy except protein. I am expecting some strength loss but I believe BCD ran/is still running keto and did not lose strength.

BCD- did you throw any carbs in at all, weekend or PWO?
Silock- how far into your PSMF did you add carbs on the weekend? (can't remember if you just followed UD 2.0 or not).

Silock · 06-12-2014, 12:30 PM

Just ud 2.0. Was going to start it again this week, but got a sinus infection instead

Probably from that silly diet experiment.

Silock · 06-12-2014, 12:50 PM

Probably lol

Really bummed. I was actually looking forward to it. It works so well. Problem is that the workouts and diet are so intense, I'd never get well if I tried to start it now.

Sent you a PM. How is their workout laid out? Wondering if I can continue 5/3/1 on that diet or just run it as prescribed.

Meh. I've spent probably 15% of my life with either a sinus or ear infection. It's not that bad to work through. Respiratory infections though are a different story.
